Rudy Giuliani offered to help an indicted Ukrainian oligarch with his U.S. legal problems if he, in turn, helped with Giulianis pressure campaign on the Ukrainian government, according to the oligarch. Dmytro Firtash, an energy tycoon linked to the Kremlin whos facing extradition to the U.S. on bribery and racketeering charges, spoke to The New York Times. Firtash claims that, in June, he met with Giuliani associates Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, who offered help with his Justice Department problems if he hired two lawyers close to President TrumpJoseph diGenova and Victoria Toensingand helped with Giulianis dirt-digging mission on the Biden familys activities in Ukraine. Parnas lawyer has confirmed his client met Firtash at Giulianis request, and encouraged the oligarch to help in the hunt for compromising information as part of any potential resolution to his extradition matter. Firtash said he had no information about the Bidens and hadnt paid for the search for it. Without my will and desire... I was sucked into this internal U.S. fight, he said.
